Nice site!
However, one consideration:
You should also be running a Bitcoin Faucet tied 2 your site or at least offer a small stake to help newcomers use your site and learn about bitcoin!

Withdrawing to multisig "3XXXX" addresses should now work fine. Please let us know if you are still having trouble withdrawing to a multisig address and we will take a closer look. Thanks! Smiley

Yep... tested it a couple times already to a couple different wallets and seems all good now.

Thanks for fixing this so fast, really cool that you guys are so responsive: much appreciated Smiley

Hi again:  Just wanted to say 'thanks' in public for the bug-reward you sent.  Much appreciated.

Also, I hate to be a pain in the ass but I recently noticed one more issue too: Are you guys gonna update the BVC "withdraw code" to allow withdrawals to multi-sig addresses any time soon?

By multi-sig I mean those bitcoin wallet addresses that start with a "3" rather than the usual, simple ones that start with a "1"...?

Not sure if "multi-sig" is the right term for that, but I've tried a couple times to withdraw to other wallets I use sometimes, like Copay and GreenAddress, that ONLY seem to use the "3 type" addresses, and the BVC site code always says it's an invalid address.

My solution meantime has been to send to a temporary wallet on RushWallet or Blockchain.info and THEN re-send to my final destination "3" address, but that's kinda a pain in the ass, and it costs an extra transaction fee (and confirmation time delay too).

Anyway, IS this a really complex thing?  Shouldn't the BVC wallet really be able to send to ANY truly VALID bitcoin address?

Thanks Smiley


This is actually the first that we've heard about being unable to withdraw to a multisig address. I'm sorry that you've had to make your withdrawals to your multisig address in such a roundabout way.

I took a quick look at our backend withdrawal code and I do see that we first check for a "1" as the first character of the withdrawal address before checking the entire address against its checksum. I believe it should be possible to change that first code to look for a 1 or a 3, or perhaps just get rid of that check altogether, since verifying the checksum should be sufficient.

I hope this hasn't been a problem for a lot of other users!

We should have this fixed soon.

Hehe yeah maybe we'll hold off on the extra miner's fee field for now. Smiley

Ha, yeah... or *actually* I was thinking about this more and maybe you could do it safely by using a drop-down menu control instead of free-form text field, i.e. make it so the user can ONLY choose a few preset choices like "Extra Optional Miner Fee" with 0.0000 or 0.0001 or 0.0002 thru like maybe maximum 0.0005.

That way, we could add an extra fee if we wanted our transaction to clear faster (paid for out of our funds) but only have the default 0.0001 applied otherwise... and no chance for a mistake putting too much $ there.

Anyway, just an idea.  The spam attack seems to have stopped (finally) so maybe just consider for future.


If you PM me your Bitcoin address I will refund your game and send you some extra coins for your troubles. Smiley

Thanks, I appreciate that.  PM sent Smiley

Anyway I suppose all this means I've just been "lucky" to have hit this really RARE bug, eh?

I'd much prefer to have been lucky hitting one of your slot jackpots! 

Maybe... some day... hope hope... LOL

OMG yeah I didn't think of that: if someone mixed up their withdraw with the miner fee box and sent a miner several hundred dollars for a few cents worth of bitcoin, yeah that would seriously suck LOL.  So, yeah, no... never mind my idea.  Bad idea. LOL

Honestly I play so fast I can't remember hardly any individual hand after a few seconds, LOL

But looking at the screen shot I saved of the error dialog box, I think we can see that the dealer had a hard 17 there and my hand (with 8 chips bet) consists of four cards.  I don't know what the cards were exactly but clearly ONE of the cards is missing from by browser's understanding of the hand dealt!

If starting hand was A-5 vs dealer 17 that's a hit of course. 6/16 plus the next (?) card of 7 makes it hard 13 vs 17 so I'd have HIT again: if I then got another Ace it's only 14 vs 17 *SO* yes I WOULD have HIT again (to presumably get that KING and bust out at 24) but since we can see there that my hand only shows FOUR cards, it appears the browser thinks I stood on 14 versus dealer 17??

Either way I would have lost the hand (bust out or 14 loss to hard 17) so regardless it's a correct result that my 8 chips bet was lost.

But it's very strange (and a little worrisome) that the server and my browser could have "LOST" a card here.

IF this was a big bet and/or IF it was a lost card that'd make the house win versus player win, THAT is potentially a big problem Sad

P.S. Thanks for upping the fee for us, hopefully temporarily, to help the slow transaction clearing problem. Nice of you Smiley


Hehe yeah maybe we'll hold off on the extra miner's fee field for now. Smiley

Yes it's very strange that the number of cards that your browser is showing is different than what the server thinks. It certainly makes sense that you would have hit on 14 when the dealer shows 17, so for some reason your browser does not show that final card that you hit.

As part of our provably fair system, we sanity check variables on the client and server side to make sure everything is consistent. This has helped us uncover a few bugs during development in addition to proving that our games are fair and completely random. Fortunately if a user were playing a big hand he would see this dialog box and could then contact us to claim his winnings.

We've tried to reproduce this bug by autoplaying games on a development server for days on end without any luck. Bitcoin Video Casino has been around for 2.5 years now and this is now the second time we've heard about this bug. The other user had the same issue -- the number of hits on the server was not the same as the client. I wonder if some kind of network issue is causing things to get out of sync? That might explain why we can't reproduce this locally. We will try to take another look at the client code. I really would love to fix this super rare issue but if we can't reproduce it we don't really know where to look... Sad

Thanks for letting us know about this issue.

Regarding the "game error" dialog, that is very strange! We have heard about this same error about one year ago. I was able to locate your game in the database. According to the server, you hit 3 times and were dealt ace, 5, 7, ace, king. Is that correct? The error is saying that what your browser thinks you did is not the same as what the server thinks you did. Did you notice anything strange before you got that error?

Hi Admin:

Couple things:

FIRST with the stupid "stress test" nonsense aka "attack" on the bitcoin network last few days, I'd really like to see you implement an additional option-box on the cash-out dialog for BVC to add optional extra miner fee to our withdrawals!

Just something simple like:



This would prevent the situation I had yesterday where my BVC withdrawal of over a thousand dollars worth of bitcoin was held up nearly 12 hours due to it having "only" the default 0.0001 fee on it!

I would very happily have put an extra ten cents (!!!) onto that just to get my money as quickly as it usually works!!!

It's not YOUR fault, of course... lots of wallets have the "can't specify miner fee" problem but it'd be very cool of BVC if YOU GUYS could add something like this for us loyal players on your site!

SECOND, I had a weird thing happen the other day, never saw it before over literally *thousands* of games played on your site over the last many months.

Not a big deal, don't really care about the small amount of money (fortunately it happened on a small bet of just a few chips and not one of my occasional throw caution to the wind 1-BTC ten-thousand-chip plungers LOL)



...no idea what happened here, really, but just curious to hear from you about it, if anything?

Thanks Smiley


Hi!

It's definitely been a bit annoying these past few days because of the greatly increased spam transactions flooding the Bitcoin network. It can cause some withdrawals to take a while to get confirmed, and it is also messing with our zero-confirmation deposit confidence system, which means that more deposits now require 1 confirmation before the account gets credited. I really do hope that the Bitcoin network will return to normal soon.

An extra field for additional miner's fee could be a good idea. I'm a bit worried that users might get confused about what this field means, since not everyone knows how Bitcoin works. Some users might also accidentally mix up the miner's fee and withdrawal amount fields, which would be a devastating loss.

For now we have increased the miner's fee per withdrawal to 0.0003 BTC, which should guarantee that the withdrawal has a higher priority than all of the spam transactions. We will only charge a 0.0001 BTC fee for withdrawals to keep everyone happy. Smiley

If this new fee is not big enough to guarantee inclusion in the next block, we can increase it further.

Regarding the "game error" dialog, that is very strange! We have heard about this same error about one year ago. I was able to locate your game in the database. According to the server, you hit 3 times and were dealt ace, 5, 7, ace, king. Is that correct?

The .1 games are way to rich for my blood, the .02 stresses me out too, next I have to work on keeping my winnings. lol

Congrats man.  I don't think your a shill.  Good to see someone winning.  Don't give it all away.

Hey All! My first post! I love the site! I actually hit a jackpot yesterday! I'm still down overall but thats because i have no self control lol!


Every time some guys suspect this site, there were always newbie accounts said they have won the big jackpots, and it is fishy to me, why you guys bet 0.1btc per roll(you bet 0.02 btc per bet, i saw others bet 0.1btc per roll and won 400btc jackpot), and newbies are always winning the jackpots, not old accounts, I think they are admin's shill accounts.  Grin

I love your casino. It is the smoothest and the best.  I am sticking to your video poker which is great.  By no means is your casino at fault.  I just have super bad luck. I see all the jackpots being won but I am a small fish.  I did hit four wilds yesterday.  Also, why don't you have the 2x or 1/2x bets for your blackjack?  That would be great.  But so their is no confusion, I love your site.  Sorry for my belly aching.  I know slots are the worst odds but I am a degenerate when it comes to the slots.  The other site has a variety of slots but your casino is better because of ease of deposits, customer service and no bugs.  I just need to learn to stop playing the slots and being greedy.  Also, I want to make it clear that I do win sometimes but the losing streaks make me go on tilt and play the higher levels which is my fault. i will continue to play your casino because it is the best.  My luck however sucks and that is no fault of yours.

Wow! Thanks for the really nice words about our site! Smiley

We've worked really hard on making this site fun for everyone, so it's always wonderful to hear that people are enjoying it.

Sorry about your super bad luck. Hopefully your luck will turn around. Smiley

I know your site is legit but the house edge is the worst I ever seen.  I have 15 spins with nothing.  Never do I get anything .  I love the play and it is a nice site but out by far the tightest slots ever.  You need to put thirty btc to even see something worth of value.  Bottom line is no fun. 

The house edge does not have to be the cause of that. They can have a 1% edge and have a payout for only 0.1% of the bets! It just depends on the distribution of the winnings.

Also, it seems that they have a solid provably fair system, so I truly doubt that they cheat anyone.

By the way how are the slots at the casino on your signature?  Might give it a try

They're great Wink

7 bit casino is fast and professionally designed, I would say one of the best ones currently on the bitcoin scene, I really recommend you try them out.

Thanks.  Their slots are much looser and their layout is great.  I actually feel as if I have a chance.  BVC is great too but unless you have 20 coins to chase the jackpots you have no chance.  I'm sure many people win but the listing steaks are as bad as bitzinos.

I took a look at the site but was unable to see anywhere that shows how their reels are configured. I was hoping to compare their reels to BVC's reels to see what makes them different. What is the expected return? I guess if they don't have a jackpot they can put more into the base payouts. Some users might like this, and some users might miss having a jackpot. I'm also having trouble finding their provably fair system, which might scare away some users.
